There is a lot of confusion about what it means to connect with the Departed, and this stems from past mediumship systems, such as seances, where people would call up "random" Departed—people who have crossed over who we don't know.

Working this way can be a tricky, and can invite all kinds of sticky or even unpleasant energy into your life. It's not a system I recommend.

However, there are also ways of doing mediumship that are safe. Where, with the assistance of our Guides, we can create an energetic boundary so that only our loved ones come in.

It can be so very lovely to connect with grandparents, parents, children, relatives and dear friends from beyond the veil.

In these connections, the heart leads—we can palpably feel the love between us, everytime we connect in this way.

When you remember that the we come around together again and again, you can trust that we are never parted. This connection is not only safe, but beautiful.
